Hi,

Your weekly e-mails and articles are really great so far and I appreciate a lot your valuable content and learned a lot. But I am skeptical about your service. Therefore 3 questions upfront before I think about to subscribe, probably:

1. Who are you? What's your name? How is your CV? What is your concrete track record?

2. Why should I pay for 1 year, when it starts on 1 October 2023 without any services in September 2023! That's a hidden price increase and misleading!

3. Can I trust you?

Hi Awe,

I hear you.

1. I managed to outperform the S&P500 with a bit over 5% over the past years (and so did the fund).

I prefer to stay anonymous at this point in time. The reason for that?

- I want to postpone the moment my employer finds out that I had been running this account while working as a Professional Investor as long as possible (

- It helps me to not take nasty comments on social media personal

- It gives me a lot of intellectual freedom

If the fact that I want to stay anonymous is a deal-breaker for you, I understand that but it won't change anything.

I want to genuinely do the right thing and everyone who becomes a Premium Subscribers becomes a Partner in this. We ride this investment journey together and I work 24/7 to provide everyone with as much value as I possibly can.

2. I tried to let the payments start on the first of October, but unfortunately it's not possible via Substack. You can choose to become a Premium Subscriber on the 1st of October, but in that case you'll pay $42 per month or $500 per year. This is way more expensive than the price you pay now ($324 per year + $300 worth of investing tools).

In other words, you 'lose' one month of $27 but you get a discount of $180 + $300 worth of investing tools. That sounds like a fair deal to me.

3. The main reason why I left Wall Street is because I couldn't stand the commercial incentives and the short term mindset of the industry.

I am a big Warren Buffett fan and Buffett has built his entire success on high integrity.

“Lose money for the firm, and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless.” -

This is also the entire philosophy of Compounding Quality. We are partners in this. I will invest all my investable assets in the portfolio which means I eat my own cooking. If you do well I do well and the other way around.

If you are not happy after taking the subscription, I'll give you your money back pro rata.

I hope this helps!
